I swam in college for 4 years and as soon as I stopped I immediately gained weight. I've always been a thin person and still am, and I want to start gaining weight but I am nervous of what Friends and family will say. I only gained about 5 pounds right after stopping swimming and that was a month ago. A week ago I decided to eat and eat and I loved it and within seven days I gained 5 pounds of soft fatty weight. I want to keep going but I am self conscious about what people will say
